Even between all these rushes you are right to take a break. But most of the breaks and trips just get packed with the unfinished plans because of the fear that break may affect annual leaves. Taking a break without burning your annual leaves is possible and who wouldn’t dream of a day that is a switch from daily office view to something greener or historic.
